　When I wake up at the inn, it is almost midnight because I went to bed early. In the real world, I would never wake up, but in this world, there is no extra sleepiness. Peter was sleeping next to me, and I found a text message he had sent me before he went to bed.

Peter: I'm going to take a nap. I'm sleepy as expected. I'll run and catch up with you tomorrow.

　Yeah, right. I think I'm going to sleep for three hours.　Ukon and the others are enjoying their journey, moving on foot without cavalry, and stopping at any famous places of interest. They can catch up with us even if they sleep the whole day here.

　You said you'd stay the night because you're afraid of coming back from the dead.　That was a lie.

　You can use the list of partner cards to transfer to any person's location <>. He realizes that if he dies now, he will be sent back to the Temple of the Isle, but he can return as long as Peter and Ruba are there. They leave the inn and go for a walk off the road. Off the road, but still on the soma-michi.

　Looking at the map, the road in Fuso is located along the sea, on the edge of the mountain. The mountains are close to the sea. The roads are narrow and minimally maintained when they are far from the towns, probably because of the lack of skills. Instead, there are many unmaintained somma roads here and there that are sometimes used by hunters and people who live on the bounty of the mountains, which are not shown on the map.

　The night vision was quite accurate, like a black-and-white movie with a hint of color, but in Fuso (here), the moon looks like a bright night. The enemies are certainly stronger than those of Eir, but they are not difficult to deal with due to the fact that they are fully equipped.

　I saw a red fire fly out of the darkness and I dispelled it, and I saw that it was a bee. It seems that this bee is covered with red fire only when it flies, and its name in the [appraisal] result is also [red bee]. They must have a hive somewhere, and the further I went, the more bees flew toward me. They are fast and small, and if they touch you, you get the [Burning] anomaly, so they are quite troublesome.

　After dropping five or six red bees, a black monk-shaped thing, like a dark shadow, comes at you with a tin can in one hand. Only its teeth, which peek out from time to time, are white. Only when its teeth are peeking out, you can touch this monster called "Yinboju". In the first encounter, I was damaged by a tin cane that reached my shoulder when I was supposed to be hit by a sword.

　Since we cannot fight with it, we have no choice but to avoid it. It is quite troublesome to avoid them on the path where tree roots and branches reach out to you. Moreover, the opponent can not only reach the branches but even the trunks of the trees and swing his tin cane at you. With the "carry" feature, the footing is not a problem, but the space to move is limited. It would be more efficient to fight with fists like Shin, or with daggers like Peter.

　As soon as we get a distance, Yin-bonin opens his mouth and shows his white teeth. He closes the distance at once and cuts off all the branches in his way. Shukuji] was useful only for avoiding the enemy during the fight with Babel, but it is very useful against demons. Some foxes and raccoon dogs attacked the demons, but this shadowy monk was the most troublesome of them all.

　Ruba's <>, with its [Zanmoku Growth], is very useful in the field where fine (・・・・) monsters attack us without interruption. The more demons you kill, the more damage you can do. It is not so effective against bosses, however, because it returns to its initial value after a break or when the field is switched.

　The rank is 65, and thanks to the [equipment rank limit removal] characteristic, I am able to equip myself at my level, but the level of Fuso's enemies starts at 60, so it's not as easy as it used to be. The level of the enemy at night will also go up one level. I'm biting a hot dog with chopped onions and pickles on it, and hunting red bees to increase my attack power.

　You can hear the sound of joyful laughter, which does not suit the mountainous surroundings. I follow the dark path toward the sound of laughter, and suddenly my vision opens up. In the dry field, blue devil's fires were floating, glistening in the night dew. In the end, we did not find a hive of red bees, but instead we seemed to have found something.

　There were many small, half-naked demons who looked like a mixture of beast and man, but there were also a few men dressed in cowries. They look human, but like the women, they breathe fire from their mouths and sometimes change their faces to those of demons with horns.
